> such as MP4, OGM or maybe even matroska could be used as AVI replacement
> and therefore want to include a conversion software tool to help
> customers with AVIs that play without sync, as they fear the impact on
> their service departments if playback problems with AVI files will occur
> ( and these are very likely to happen as you know ).

> I am trying to convince them that such a tool should be based on the GPL
> and sources be distributed with the CD, as it could use many existing
> code, making the job a lot easier.

> - send out warning signals about VBR audio not being AVI specs
